Ih have the sam problem since installing new patch. Lag usually gets worse (alnd leads to disconnection) if I go off the trac or even hit the barrires ...
Haven hat such problem sice very early pre S1 days ...

[danbmx_69]

Same ISP/connection since S1.

danbmx_69 I have recently encountered the same problem...

run a few laps then everyone else lags, track map stops. The only change I have made is to my adsl modem / router setup(Netcomm NB3) is set the IP filter > Security level from low to none(to port forward kia online gaming for xbox)

I have just changed back and rebooted modem. LFS seems to be working again. I'll do a race or 2 and see how it goes.

[hornch]

That worked! LFS working fine...

can anyone explain why this would make any difference??

and also explain why port fowarding sux - I can't seem to get it configured correctly

[danbmx_69]

hornch i havent got a router all i have is a usb adsl modem i have AOL

[lucky]

Funny thing how i resolvedf my lag prob. I use a centrino notebook and when I disabled built-in WLAN and used PCMVCIA WLAN card lag dissapeared ... Weir, since everythnig was OK with the built-in WLAN for some time, then lag appeared ...

HI
My ISP is AOL

Yesterday all normal ?
No Lag's i have Tested over 2 Hours on 3 different Server.

I have logged it .
From time to time lfs.hosted.netline.net.uk
i can see him in the Routing Table

But when the Lag Problem occurence
lfs.hosted.netline.net.uk are not in the Routing table.

IMHO is this an Routing Problem.
I will test it with Traceroute

Post any results here too please. I have started having this problem since about a week ago, its very annoying, and seems to be totally out-of-the-blue. :(

never had any probs with LFS S1 S2 etc before this..

I know theres problem with AOL in a few games I've played, seen a few people having problems. My personal opinion on AOL is i'd never use them, far to much problems I've heard from people. Have you tried opening the port for LFS ?

Hello

Look at this thread

The answer from "Honey" is plausible ( End of Thread )

i still havent solved it :(

[NotAnIllusion]

I got a similar problem too:

-Everyone else freezes on the map, and can't see them on the track
-Occurs *only* on S2 registered servers, not on demo side even if full
-Even on low ping servers with a couple of ppl driving
-Seems to have happened recently for me, it was working fine for some time and with no changes to my system or connection as far as I can tell (not very far..).
-Didn't start happening after applying any particular patch
-Seems to happen at any time of the day

My ISP also has pathetic DNS servers, going down every few minutes (but LFS uses IP to connect I gather, since everyone can host..?)

It makes S2 racing on registered-side servers impossible, please could this issue be investigated or at least explained properly by someone in the know.. (dev perhaps :))?
